Easiest Cube Steak EVER!

Who doesn't love good ol' southern comfort food? I don't eat stuff like this all the time for obvious reasons. But some days I splurge and really enjoy myself. I went to mom's house last night for dinner and someone had given her a super easy cube steak recipe! Cube steak is most definitely not a 'pretty' dish, but it sure is GOOD. I've never made it before in my life because when you get into making gravy and all that jazz I get intimidated. Well, this is one recipe for the books...and I will make it at least once a month from now on! It was a hit with Devin too which makes it even better! It was so tender and the flavor was praise worthy! I really couldn't get over it. Not to mention it is fairly cheap to make, and I guess the bisquick topping fills you up really quick because I could only eat 1/2 a piece...which means the recipe goes a long way! Yay!

Spray your baking dish with Pam (I've cooked this without greasing the dish and the breading on the bottom came off but it was still good, that's why it's optional ;)!)
Coat Cube Steak in Ranch Dressing (Both Sides)
Sprinkle Bisquick on both sides of steak
Place Coated Cubed Steak In a Baking Dish in a Single Layer
Squeeze a little butter on top of each piece of steak
Bake at 375 for 45 Minutes
ENJOY

i made this tonight and it tasted great but allthe breading came off. idk what i did wrong. i did use a glass dish and a electric stove would that have something to do with it.loved the taste and do want to make it again

If you allow breaded meats to rest on a wire rack for 15 minutes before cooking, it will help the breading adhere to the meat and not come off. I also spray the pan/dish liberally with non-stick spray.

I'm going to try this soon, but after reading the comments about the breading sticking to the pan, I may line the dish with Reynolds Non-Stick Aluminum foil. (And by the way, nothing I fix ever looks anything like the pictures on Pinterest. My kitchen is not my friend).

I didn't measure. And the measurements will change based on how much steak you are fixing anyway! I basically squeeze ranch on each side and just spread it(the kind in the bottle)on both sides until the steak was coated well. Then sprinkled the bisquick on both sides to cover. Then I just squeezed about a quarter size dollop of butter on each. The recipe is kind of one of those things you can't mess up unless you drown it in butter so there are really no perfect measurements! :)
